Chinatown By Night

Year 2 Day 187
Met up with Aaron this evening as we were both in town for work. After a quick visit to the bench we retired to the pub to swap 365 stories but were accosted by an extremely drunk Norwegian who challenged us to guess his accent. His mates had all gone to a comedy club and left him in the boozer as he'd been refused admission to said club on account of being too drunk. And that was several beers before we met him! We took our leave and found s pretty good thai restaurant round the corner (stir-fry 7/10, thai curry 8.5/10, beer 8/10, toilets 9/10!!! Aaron insisted I went and took a look even if I didn't need to go). On leaving we saw the lights on Wardour Street and proceeded to use a variety of street surfaces as ad hoc tripods. I ended up using my iphone as a tripod in the middle of the road for this one.
wow!! amazing lights!

@andycoleborn my iphone was dead, took 150 hipsta shots waiting for Aaron, otherwise he'd be all over 365! took this with my DSLR, just propped it up on the iphone to get the angle. Went to the McCurry exhibition too, awesome!

Love the middle of the road shots - I've done a few - add element of dnager. Like all the light s and hustle and bustle.

Nice one with the lights and all and then the dude in the middle. Sounds like a chortle-filled evening what with drunk Norwegians! Didn't go to the concert in the end as Dave too tired but prob best I wasn't hanging out too late as so was I ... Have you got yourself a proper tripod yet? I think a tripod evening should be on the cards with the nights drawing in ...
